Example exercise: Electron exchange
'Act out the exchange of electrons:
- all, stand in a line
 - form pairs of two
 - determine who is the proton and who is the (valence electron))
 - orbit!
 - i push one valence electron in the beginning of the line out of its orbit, becoming a free electron
 - free electron bounces agains nearby valence electron, replacing its position, become a valence electron again while setting free the previously valence electron
 - and it goes on....
 
Chaos scenario: set free multiple electrons in system: what happens? the free ones WANT to go to the positive protons! especially when their orbit is 'empty' or they have an excess in (negatively charged electrons)
Group exercise: You are the Electrons
In the groups you formed during the last class:
- Read https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/what-is-electricity (20mins)
 - Sketch out a choreography act out concepts 20 mins
 - Somehow make clear your different roles, who is the electron, who is a proton, etc (tshirts? signs? hats?)
 - With your group physically act out one (or more) concept introduced on the page, using your bodies (30mins)
 - document your choreography on your individual wiki pages!
 
things to act out, for example:
- Conductor vs Isolator
 - Static Discharge
 - Current electricity
 - Resistors
 - Simple circuit (Illuminating a Light Bulb)
